This Week on the Street and at VAMFF – What’s trending

Between treading the streets for stylish street style looks, stalking the fashionistas at VAMFF and checking out what’s trending overseas, we’ve summarized the latest trends that are transferring down under. Here’s the latest that’s catching on, according to our photographers out there on the street.

#socksnosocks

When it comes to ankle apparel, it seems we’re divided. Colourful pulled-up happy socks peeking out over boots or no socks at all? Both are being worn across the genders ATM and we say either way looks awesome.

#toobiglapelsorjackets

A trend seen in spades overseas last week, now starting to be seen here. Wide lapels – the bigger and wider, the better! It’s a trend that’s catching on in Oz, not least at VAMFF. Combined with loose fitting, oversized apparel, too big jackets hanging off the shoulders seems to be the current fave.

#shortmanbags

There’s no shame in a man bag, in fact they’re damn handy for storing those essential items. Out on the streets, the current look is compact with a short cross-body strap.

#rainbowbags

Classic black, white and brown bags certainly had their place at VAMFF, but we were also seeing plenty of colourful, attention-seeking alternatives – from bright reds and pinks to intricate rainbow lattices.
